      This example shows how to edit the last message before sending
      it to user WRIGHT on node FLIGHT. To make a change in text,
      enter Ctrl/C and invoke the editor by entering the SEND/LAST
      /EDIT command. Edit the message you were in the process of
      entering, and send it by entering the EXIT command.

      To: DAPPER::WAYNE
      CC: JACKSON
      Enter your message below.  Press Ctrl/Z when complete, Ctrl/C to quit:

      This example shows how to send a mail message to a user named
      WAYNE on node DAPPER and a copy of the message to user JACKSON.
      The /SELF qualifier enables Mail to send a copy of the same
      message back to you. The subject of the message is Good Harbor.
      Because the /SUBJECT qualifier was specified, there is no
      Subject: prompt.

      $ MAIL
      MAIL> SEND DUCK.TMP
      To: WAMPUS
      Subject: Duck Activities

      This example shows how a user named FLYNN recovers an EDT
      editing session after being interrupted by Ctrl/Y. A temporary
      file named DUCK.TMP is created, which user FLYNN then sends
      to a user named WAMPUS. The /RECOVER qualifier may work
      differently with your selected editor.
